No, it's not.  The web and the real world aren't disjoint sets, and I don't
see how it's of any benefit to people who are looking for Debian services to
exclude self-evidently qualified consultants from the list just because they
don't offer an email address for contact.  Surely I'm not the only one who's
used the web before to locate a company that I then contacted by phone?
